ISHC Boys' Hockey Champions

Posted: 21/03/2018

On Tuesday, 20th March the U13A team were crowned ISHC National Champions. The side were drawn against Blundell’s School in the semi-final, which they proceeded to win 7-2 thanks to five goals from Archie G-H and one apiece through William B and Jack W.

In the National Final, the team were drawn against Calday Grange Grammar School. What followed was a perfect performance from the boys as they quickly raced into a 3-0 lead and went on to win the final convincingly 8-2, with goals coming through Archie G-H, with a further four to add to his tally of nine in two games at a national finals day, two from Louis U and one apiece through Robbie B and William B.

To be crowned National Champions of England in a competition which is open to every school in the land is a considerably great achievement and no less than the boys deserve for being an absolutely superb group of boys to work with throughout their time at the Prep School. Individual goals scorers have been singled out above but this was very much a superb all round team effort from all nine boys involved and we drew praise from many onlookers as present.

Squad: Henry J, Rafferty G, Henry J, Jack W (captain), William B, Louis U, Archie G-H, Billy M and Robbie B.
